Keep getting interested in him then getting lost in other things.

[gonefission]

This again, huh? On and off, on and off, like I'm a damn toaster...

Come on. Get a little dedication or move away. I don't want another 'almost but not quite' on the record. On the plus side, there's nothing more to catch up on. You've got it all right there. So read it or don't.

You aren't a toaster? That's news to me!

[gonefission]

Just because I can toast doesn't mean I'm a toaster.

[shadowfields]

I'm teasing, Nate.

Mostly.

[gonefission]

Oh, I got you.

It still hurts my sensitive soul.

[shadowfields]

I'll get you a soul-cozy for the next major holiday. Until then, tough it up!


...hey?

[gonefission]

Yes ma'am, sucking up the pain as we speak.

...Yeah?

[shadowfields]

Ugh. Don't you dare "ma'am," me.

Oh. Just checking if it was weird, that's all. Totally glad that it isn't. Guess it also qualifies as a greeting, Major Appliance Man.

[gonefission]

Yes ma'am. Sorry ma'am. Won't happen again ma'am. [Too easy. He's even saluting.]

It was weird. But if I let weird bother me, I'd be really whiny.

[shadowfields]

Oh, there it is! I've been reminded why we didn't work out -- I mean, other than my stunning, flawless looks.

You're talkin' to the girl that went from normal to getting confused for a vampire and a zombie. Weird is something I can relate to.

[gonefission]

Sorry, but easy targets get hit first. Even the stunningly flawless ones.

Saves on Halloween costumes. I go as a robot every year.

[shadowfields]

Hey, hey! You can say what you want but calling me an easy target, well, that's just hurtful!

Vampires are pretty hot right now. Unfortunately I don't think the kind that would be interested in that would be the sort of guy I want to attract.

[gonefission]

Sorry, but what would you call it?

Long cry from the vampires I grew up with. Bela Lugosi hasn't got a patch on you. [Why so old Nate.] Seems like a catch-22, if the ones who would be into it aren't the ones you'd be into.

[shadowfields]

I'm not sure. Let's call it Placeholder for now.

Thanks. Sort of. Things haven't quite been working out for me in the romance department, I guess. Ragman got rebooted before everyone else did, changed, and I guess... we broke up? I don't know. There was some weird thing going on with Nightmaster and I that made no sense and the whole fiasco with Tom's still a mess because really, who can compare to Wonder Woman, right?

[gonefission]

Man...It sounds worse when it's not even something that feels real, like a fight over something or any one of a million reasons people don't work out...

Ah, sorry...Probably not being that sensitive.

[power_girl]

There's nothing worse than that old yo-yo game.

[gonefission]

[Well if it isn't his best buddy from the JLE days!]

I don't know about 'nothing.' There's a lot out there.

[power_girl]

A lot of highly annoying things, yes, but you have to admit, not knowing if you're going to be given a little attention? It's not fun.

[gonefission]

Not fun at all. Really, I just want to be on solid ground for once. Have a little certainty.

[power_girl]

Believe me, Nate, I understand that. For the longest time, I didn't know where I was from or anything.

[gonefission]

Yeah, if anyone knows what it's like to be a fish out of water, it's us. You more than me; I remember when you thought you were Atlantian. Geeze, what a mess, huh?

[power_girl]

Not my only mess, sadly. Even worse was the time when I developed a weakness to natural elements.

[gonefission]

Oh yeah, that. That one doesn't even make sense at all! Oxygen is a natural element!

[8x10s_on_request]

So, Nate, are you having one of your "the government says jump, I ask how high" moments, or are you making your own decisions today?

*uses Nate's reflectiveness as a mirror to fix his hair*

[gonefission]

[He actually lets Booster do it. Why? Because why even bother fighting it at this point.]

Normally I'd say I'm done doing anything that conflicts with my preferences but...Well, I am being roleplayed now.

[8x10s_on_request]

Oh yeah. That can be a pain in the keister.

[gonefission]

Bit of an understatement, don't you think?
